I guess Devy's gone for good, probally tired of all the shit from the media too.

what a messed up week this has been...strapping young lad and DT band was up on my list of favorite bands. Devin is a genious

 

[[KOTNO]Narrot]

he's egocentric enough to come back in a year or two imo

 

[Lunar Still]

Man...the good news just keeps on rolling in this week, doesn't it?

 

[Söy]

publicity stunt?

time will tell

 

[EricT]

Or it's just a rumor?

Hasn't been mentioned anywhere else since theres no confirmation of any sort...

 

[mReEtTaIlRsEkD]

no big loss.

 

[Anvil]

I don't believe it yet. I'll find out from my sources this weekend.

 

[dreaming neon darkspot]

he's not quitting making music, though. a respectable decision, doing this because of his kid and all.

and because he's totally fucking nuts.

[Krigloch the Furious]

[RedKef]

+1 Argh, I hope he gains some inspiration to come back...maybe when his kid turns into an annoying, rebellious teen.

 

[Söy]

sooo in 14 years then?

*shrug* Better late than never. He also published this report:

Said Devin: "Journalism is a crazy thing (and one of the main contributing factors to my current state of burn-out).

"Here's the deal: When and if I feel like it, I'll let you know. I'm officially burnt out on travelling, touring, and self-promotion. I want to produce and make records for an undetermined length of time. Please respect that.

"I love STRAPPING YOUNG LAD and DEVIN TOWNSEND BAND, and the members of those bands mean a great deal to me, but I have to do it for the love, [and] when it becomes a burden, it's time to step away for awhile.

"After 'Ziltoid' [Devin's latest solo album, 'Ziltoid The Omniscient'], there will be no real interviews for as long as it takes for me to build up strength again.

"I'm sure at some point I'll get the itch to play, but in the meantime, please respect that I've burnt myself out and need to get away from it all. I'm no good to anyone as a tired shell going through the motions for money.

"Enjoy the music... enjoy the productions... there will be a ton of them.

"By the way, 'Ziltoid' is a self parody, and I don't intend on milking it into a commercial light ... mainstream acceptance makes me nauseous..."

I chuckled, but the dude's got a lot of integrity. I wish him all the best, despite my love of SYL and DTB.
